Since This Seems to be the Day to Share Good News....

[Thud]

...I figured that even though I'm not normally the type to share a lot of the details of my personal life, I might as well now. I might add that I recieved a lot of encouragement from a friend here to go ahead and share this with you all. So, here goes:

Almost 2 months ago (May 16th), my son Nickolas was born. 8lbs, 10oz, and 21.5" of bouncing baby boy.

His mother and I were married a couple of weeks ago (Jun29th). Not exactly the order we'd planned on, but that's the way things happen sometimes. What's more is that I still live in Japan, while they're stuck in Virginia. I spent the last three weeks out there with them. The situation stinks, as they can't come here, and I have 2 years left here. But, we had a ball, and we're focusing on the many blessings we have.

So, here I sit by myself while my family is back in the US. It stinks, but I'm still happy--things could be much worse for us. I have a beautiful wife whom I love very much, and our baby is the greatest thing that ever graced the earth.

Within the past two months, I've become not only a husband, but a father as well. And I'm pretty damn happy about the whole deal.

Nice post, Thud.

I'm glad to hear you focus on the postives, not the negatives, of your life. That's a healthy way to be.

Cheers

Personally I think it's a healthy thing to share parts of your life with others. Congrats my friend. I hope that soon you will all be together.

I'm glad to hear that you're happy Thud. Living apart is never easy, but as long as you keep your perspective on what's important, you'll be happy and in the long run, you'll be better for it. Congrats on your marriage, and your new family
